Your Surrey Wedding- October/November 2020 (Issue 85)

73 REGIONAL SHOOT  T hese gorgeous images were taken at Minley Manor. We spoke to the creative director, Kerry Brent from AB Event Hire to find out more: “Our vision was to create a romantic ceremony set up in the exquisite Grade II listed Orangery. We used floating silk cherry blossom trees from Forever And A Day Events, along with a white carpet, scattered rose petals and our vintage glass candlesticks and Chiavari chairs. We envisaged our bride walking down the aisle in a mist of pink cherry blossom trees and the happy couple tying the knot under an archway. For the wedding breakfast table, we chose luxurious pinks and golds, with a crisp white table cloth and ruched dusky blossom cloth runners, blooms from Chobham Flowers, candlesticks and terrariums with gold-rimmed plates and crystal band glassware. The Gin Inn’s fantastic bar complimented the vintage theme and made the perfect backdrop to capture a fun shot with our bride.” The showstopping bake was made by Anna Lewis Luxury Wedding Cakes. “It was inspired by torn paper,” says Kerry. “She used fondant to create a contemporary texture which was balanced by delicate ethereal sugar flowers in soft blush and white with gold accents. The design complimented the dessert table which featured watercolour iced vanilla bean biscuits, coconut macarons, lemon miniature cupcakes, cake pops and Belgian chocolates.” The striking stationery featured lovebirds and botanicals. “It reflected our pink and gold theme and was the inspiration behind the name of the shoot,” explains Kerry. “Flamboyant Invites made pieces that went back to another era and juxtaposed with a modern minimalist edge that she used across the stationery set.” The model wore a gorgeous dress supplied by Mirror Mirror Bridal Couture. “The gown was called Davies from Pronovias’ Privee Collection,” shares Kerry. “It had feathery embroidery and long sleeves, with an illusion buttoned back and a detachable train.” A team of local suppliers worked together to create this romantic set of images Images courtesy of Wedding Stories lovebirds VINTAGE
